When the University of Wisconsin lured chubby, Kansas-born John Steuart Curry to lecture farm boys on painting, art rivalry among U. S. colleges began to burn with a hard, gemlike flame. Other up-&-coming schools promptly hired their own resident artists, not to teach art but to talk it, to paint while undergraduates gaped and to give an occasional steer to hopeful dedicates. To the University of Georgia went Native Son Lamar Dodd. Dartmouth called home its own Paul Sample. Muralist Thomas Benton spurned all Missouri compromises during four stormy years teaching and painting at Kansas City...

...publication. Five years ago, even one year ago, English and U. S. readers would have found it more profitable if less pat. Souvarine's Stalin, published first in French several years ago, the work of a onetime member of the Executive of the Communist International, is practically unique among latter-day Bolshevist or ex-Bolshevist writings in carrying authority for the sane Western mind. With the knowledge of an insider and the detachment of a historian, Souvarine shows how Stalin succeeded to Lenin's power, how Socialism miscarried in his hands, and why the Soviet-German non-aggression...
